Why The Bears Won't Even Get To The Super Bowl, Part 1

10 of the 12 playoff teams scored over 350 points this season. Two did not. Tampa Bay with 300, and Chicago with 260. You don't give up 90-100 total points to another team (that's a touchdown EVERY game more) and expect to have your defense carry you.

Besides, that 260 includes what the defense scored, too. Rex Grossman will not make much of a difference, either. Scoring 24 against Green Bay? Ooooh. Grossman was 11-23 against that pathetic defense, and he's the second coming? For comparison sake, the week before Baltimore and THEIR pathetic offense torched the Packers for 48.

"Yeah, but Grossman killed Atlanta the week before that."

Yeah, he sure did, leading the Bears to 10 whopping points in a 16-3 rout (not), with a stellar 9-for-16 for 93 yards in one half. Do you guys realize you're getting excited about a QB who would be lucky to make half the rosters in the rest of the NFL as a backup at best? And he's the best you've got?
